Town striker Jordan Rhodes is aiming to cement a place in the Town first team when he returns from his loan spell at Brentford. The 19-year-old has scored 6 goals in 7 appearances for the League Two side, form which he hopes will push him into the Town starting side when he returns to Portman Road.

Rhodes: "There are some top class strikers here, experienced players and the manager and coaching staff felt it would be better for me to go and play first-team football lower down than play in the reserves here.

"It's all good experience for me and part of my education in the game and I feel I am learning all the time. You get so much more out of it than reserve team football.

"I'm really enjoying my time at Brentford and feel I'm adding to my game but I definitely see my future at Ipswich.

"I'm training here two days a week and I know the manager is monitoring my form at Brentford. He said 'carry on for another two months and carry on scoring goals, then you'll be back here' but he wanted the 24 hour recall option.

"I have two more years left on my contract here after this season and my aim is to do my best at Brentford and then come back to Portman Road for the end of the season. Get a good pre-season in me and then hopefully look to really kick on at the start of next year and push for a place."
